    Hi everybody, Happy new year!

    I am having a very difficult time trying to understand how I can make the title I make for the pages, actually come out in the source, so that Google can display only the title I put in.

    I will explain:

    If you look at the first screen shot, you will see my site is listed at the top. However, the title reads Upholstery cleaner Doncastercarpet cleaner Doncaster.
    It says it twice, joined together.

    If you look at the the second screen shot it shows that the page title is just 'Upholstery cleaner Doncaster'. You can also see that the seo snippet preview shows the same.

    If you look at the thrird screen shot, you can see that when the source is viewed, is shows the title and the words Carpet cleaner Doncaster.

    This is not looking very nice on the search listings and probally does not do me any good as a search term.

    Is there a way to fix this so that only the title I want shows up.

    This web site is www.carpetcleanerdoncaster.com

    Thanks, Paul. screenshot google listing.jpg Screenshot seo title.jpg

    The first name is the Title of your page. The second name is the Title of your website.

    It looks like you are using a SEO plugin - Wordpress by Yoast. I dont use that plugin but they all work in the same manner. You have sitewide settings and page settings. It looks like you are using both on each page. There should be some setting for homepage only and then you should have your individual settings for each page. So for homepage you would set your main keyword. Then for each page you would use the individual page settings to set the title. This will prevent the duplicates you are seeing.

    Hello,

    This issue is occurring because of "Yoast WordPress SEO plugin" you are using.
    So Go to the Dashboard > Appearance > Editor > header.php and replace code highlighted in the image with the code given below.

    Code:
    <?php wp_title(''); ?>

    This will solve your issue.
